corrected.<br />
5B. WARNING - For 230 volt European version make sure the power cord is<br />
plugged into a grounded RCB or RCCB protected circuit with a 3 mA trip level.<br />
6. DANGER - Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised<br />
to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that<br />
children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.<br />
7. DANGER - Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match<br />
the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the<br />
suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.<br />
8. WARNING - Never operate spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing.<br />
Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less that the flow rate marked on<br />
the original suction fitting.<br />
9. DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Install at least 5 feet<br />
(1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5 m) of<br />
metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum of<br />
#8 (SWG 8.4 mm 2 ) or (# 6 in Canada) solid copper conductor attached to the<br />
bonding lug on the Power Pack which is provided for this purpose.<br />
10. DANGER - Risk of Electrical Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance,<br />
such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet of spa or hot tub.<br />
11. WARNING - To reduce risk of injury:<br />
A. The water in a spa or hot tub should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water<br />
temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered<br />
safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for<br />
extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children.<br />
5
User’s Guide<br />
B. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing<br />
fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possible<br />
pregnant women should limit spa or hot water temperatures to 100°F<br />
(38°C).<br />
C. Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water<br />
temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerance of water<br />
temperature-regulating devices varies.<br />
D. WARNING: The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal<br />
hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.<br />
E. Hyperthermia Warning!<br />
The causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia may be described as<br />
follows. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body<br />
reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6ºF<br />
(37ºC). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an<br />
increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia<br />
include:<br />
(1) Unawareness of impending hazard;<br />
(2) Failure to perceive heat;<br />
(3) Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;<br />
(4) Physical inability to exit spa;<br />
(5) Fetal damage in pregnant women; and<br />
(6) Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.<br />
F. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease,<br />
low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should<br />
consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.<br />
G. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hot tub<br />
since some medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.<br />

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS<br />
1. Never use an extension cord to connect the Power Pack to a power source. The<br />
cord could cause a voltage drop which may cause damage to the control and<br />
pump motor.<br />
2. Always operate Power Pack with the cord mounted GFCI in place and<br />
functional on 120 volt units. Failure to do so could result in a shock hazard.<br />
3. Always operate spa with sufficient water. Water level must be above suction<br />
inlets. Insufficient water will cause pump failure and void warranty.<br />
4. Maintain proper water pH (7.4 - 7.6 is ideal). Failure to do so may cause<br />
damage to vinyl liner, heater element, and damage will not be covered by<br />
warranty.<br />
5. Install spa only on floors or areas that can withstand repeated water exposure.<br />
Equipment failure as well as splashing, filling and draining will spill water. If<br />
located in a multi-story building, care must be taken to protect the objects on<br />
the floors below.<br />
6. Install only on floors that can withstand the floor loading of your spa. If in<br />
doubt, please consult an architect or engineer to determine the floor rating<br />
before filing. See specifications.<br />
7. Do not open Power Pack or the GFCI. Opening either component will void the<br />
warranty.<br />
8. When storing, always drain all water from tub, plumbing and Power Pack,<br />
especially in freezing temperature as freeze damage is not covered by warranty.<br />
9. Always maintain proper water sanitation with chemicals and routine cleaning.<br />
Warm water is an ideal place for bacteria to thrive. It’s your sole responsibility<br />
to maintain proper water sanitation. Read the sections on water chemistry and<br />
filter maintenance.<br />
10. Never add water to chemicals. Always add chemicals to water to avoid strong<br />
fumes or violent reactions that may result in hazardous chemical spray.<br />

INSTALLATION<br />
User’s Guide<br />
SITE PREPARATION<br />
1. Structure: Your spa should always be installed on a structurally sound,<br />
relatively smooth, and level surface.<br />
2. Electrical: Your spa should be connected to a grounded outlet within<br />
eight feet of the spa. For 120 V units, there should be easy access to the<br />
plug for periodic testing of the cord mounted GFCI.<br />
3. Bonding: A copper wire connector is located inside the spa power pack to<br />
permit connection of a minimum No. 8 A.W.G. (No. 6 for Canada) solid<br />
copper bonding conductor between any metal equipment, water pipe, or<br />
metal enclosures within 5 feet of the spa as required to comply with the<br />
National Electric Code, or local requirements.<br />
INDOOR INSTALLATION<br />
Give special consideration to the following issues when installing your spa<br />
indoors.<br />
1. Make sure the floor can support the total spa filled weight of 2113 pounds.<br />
2. Install your spa on water resistant, non-slip floor. The floor should have<br />
a drain to remove water splashed from the spa. Do not install the spa on<br />
carpet or other material that will be damaged by moisture.<br />
3. Take into consideration the room humidity which will exist due to<br />
high temperatures. Providing natural or forced ventilation in the room<br />
will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the<br />
surrounding environment.<br />
4. Avoid installing the spa indoors on a second story above finished living<br />
space due to the possibility of water and humidity damage.<br />
5. Allow enough clearance around the spa for full access to the spa<br />
equipment for service.<br />

Comfort Line Products<br />
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION<br />
Your spa may be installed on any level, smooth surface that is strong enough<br />
to support the filled unit. Observe the following considerations when<br />
deciding where to place your spa:<br />
1. Make sure there are no sharp objects under the spa.<br />
2. Do not install the spa on grass or dirt, as this will greatly increase the<br />
amount of debris entering the spa. Stepping stones or a solid wood 8 ft x<br />
8 ft square platform, 5 to 9 inches in height, will provide a sufficient area<br />
for installation.<br />
3. Verify that there is adequate room to place the spa and permit safe access.<br />
4. Check local code requirements for restrictions (fencing, enclosures, child<br />
proof gates, etc.)<br />

is normal. Do not run the<br />
power pack without water for<br />
more than 15 minutes.<br />
5. Inflate the three spa side tubes and the<br />
spa interior floor.<br />
NOTE:<br />
Do not over inflate the lower<br />
tube. Over inflation may cause<br />
lack of air flow and water<br />
action.<br />
11
6. When installing the caps on the inflation<br />
fittings, make sure the sealing flaps on<br />
the fittings are not pulled out through<br />
the inflation fittings. This will prevent<br />
the flaps from sealing properly, and may<br />
damage the inflation fittings.<br />
User’s Guide<br />
7. Check the fit of the nylon outer cover<br />
on the spa. The openings in the side of<br />
the nylon skin should be centered on<br />
the power pack connections. If not, let<br />
some air out of the side tubes and adjust<br />
the nylon skin to center the power pack<br />
fittings in the openings. Fill all side tubes<br />
until they are just firm.<br />
8. Inflate the inflatable bladder cover. There<br />
are two inflation fittings on the inflatable<br />
bladder cover. Pinch the transparent fill<br />
valves while filling the cover to ensure<br />
good air flow through the valve.<br />
NOTE:<br />
After inflating the spa and<br />
cover, unplug the power pack<br />
while assembling and filling<br />
the spa with water.<br />
9. Attach the three feet to the bottom of the<br />
power pack.<br />

10. Line up the water connections on the<br />
back of the power pack with the fittings<br />
on the side of the spa.<br />
11. Remove the two labels from the bottom,<br />
large fitting of the spa. Make sure the o-<br />
ring inside the fitting is in place.<br />
12. Attach the bottom, large fitting on<br />
the back of the power pack to the<br />
corresponding fitting on the spa, being<br />
careful not to cross-thread the fitting.<br />
Make sure the o-ring inside the fitting is<br />
properly seated. Tighten the nut handtight.<br />
13. Attach the middle and upper hose<br />
connections from the power pack to the<br />
spa. Make sure the hose washers are in<br />
place and seated inside the connections.<br />
Tighten the fittings hand-tight.<br />
14. Loosen the set screws on the side of the<br />
air loop fittings. Insert the air loop onto<br />
the blower connections on the top of the<br />

User’s Guide<br />
FILLING THE SPA<br />
1. Ensure the power pack is not plugged in.<br />
2. Remove the protective caps from the<br />
suction and discharge fittings inside the<br />
spa. Place the caps in a safe location.<br />
3. Using a garden hose, fill the spa to<br />
approximately one inch above the top<br />
of the second air chamber ring. Be<br />
careful not to over fill the spa, or the spa<br />
may overflow during use. Each average<br />
adult will raise the water level in the spa<br />
approximately two inches, and the turbo<br />
wave blower action will raise water level<br />
an additional three to four inches.<br />
4. Bleed the air from the filter tank by<br />
turning the small black knob on the top<br />
of the filter tank counterclockwise. Allow<br />
the filter tank to bleed for approximately<br />
one minute, or until water drips from<br />
the fitting. Turn the fitting clock-wise to<br />
close the bleed valve.<br />

Comfort Line Products<br />
Plug the spa into a properly grounded electrical outlet.<br />
5. Plug the power pack into the electrical outlet. The water pump will turn<br />
on and begin pumping water. Water should flow from the small return<br />
nozzle on the bottom inside wall of the spa behind the power pack.<br />
If water is not flowing from the return nozzle, repeat the air bleeding<br />
instructions provided in step 4. Unplug the power pack while bleeding<br />
air.<br />
NOTE:<br />
If the air is not properly bled from the filter tank, the water<br />
pump will be air bound and no water will flow. This will<br />
prevent the spa from heating, and the water will not be<br />
filtered. Make sure water is flowing from the return nozzle<br />
before continuing.<br />
6. Place the inflatable bladder cover on the<br />
spa. Make sure the cover is centered on<br />
the spa.<br />
Always supervise children around bodies of water. The spa<br />
cover is not a safety cover. The spa cover is not a substitute for<br />
adult supervision.<br />
7. Place the top cover over the spa and line<br />
up the eight cover locks.<br />

OPERATION<br />
• Test the GFCI before each use. (Refer to the instructions<br />
provided in the Maintenance section of this manual.)<br />
• Plug into properly grounded receptacle.<br />
• Do not use extension cords.<br />
Temperature Control<br />
1. During normal operation, the control<br />
display on the top of the power pack<br />
displays the current water temperature.<br />
2. To set the desired water temperature, press<br />
and release the up or down heat button.<br />
The display will flash the desired water temperature set point. To change<br />
the set point, press the up or down button once for each degree of water<br />
temperature, to a maximum of 104ºF (40ºC).<br />
3. After a few seconds pass without pressing either heat button, the display<br />
will return to the current water temperature. The spa will begin heating<br />
to the desired water temperature at a rate of approximately 1 to 1-1/2<br />
degrees F per hour.<br />
4. The spa is made to hold the set temperature. Do not lower the<br />
temperature set point after use. The heater will turn on and off<br />
automatically to maintain the desired temperature.<br />
5. In case of electric power interruption, the spa temperature set point will<br />
default to 100ºF when electric power is restored.<br />
17
User’s Guide<br />
Turbo Operation<br />
To turn the turbo wave pump on or off, push the on/off button. Look to see<br />
if the spa blows bubbles uniformly all the way around the spa. If action seems<br />
to fade as bubbles circle the spa and are weak on one side, then the lower air<br />
chamber is over-inflated. Let some air out of the lower chamber to correct<br />
this. The turbo wave pump will automatically shut off after 15 minutes of<br />
operation.<br />
When the turbo wave blower system is activated, the blower pump is<br />
pumping outside ambient air into the spa, creating much of the action<br />
in the spa. Some cooling of the water will occur as the turbo wave blower<br />
operates. This is normal and the heater will recover lost temperature after use.<br />
Remember, at elevated temperatures, 15 minutes soaking time is considered<br />
safe.<br />
The spa power pack contains a filter to help keep the water in the spa<br />
clean. If the filter becomes dirty or clogged, water flow through the power<br />
pack will be restricted. This may prevent the spa from heating up. Refer to<br />
the Maintenance section of this manual for information on checking and<br />
cleaning the filter.<br />
Cover<br />
After use, place the cover on the spa. Lock the plastic clips in eight locations<br />
on the outside of the spa.<br />
Always leave the cover locked and in place when the spa is not<br />
in use. The cover is not a replacement for adult supervision.<br />
Always supervise young children in and around water.<br />
NOTE:<br />
The cover must be in place for the spa to heat up.<br />
18
Comfort Line Products<br />
MAINTENANCE<br />
Vinyl Care - Interior<br />
1. While the spa is empty, clean the spa interior with a mild soap solution<br />
to remove any soil or stains on the vinyl. Rinse thoroughly before refilling<br />
the spa. Do not use cleaning aids such as steel wool, metal brushes, or<br />
abrasive cleansers such as Comet or Ajax.<br />
2. Remove and clean the filter twice a month, or more often if necessary.<br />
Vinyl Care - Exterior<br />
Clean the exterior with a mild soap solution then rinse with clean water.<br />
Avoid abrasive soaps or tools, or any solvents.<br />
The exterior of the spa as well as the thermal top is made to resist mildew and<br />
discoloration.<br />
Recommended Water Chemistry<br />
Purchase a water test kit from your dealer. Test the water chemistry after each<br />
use of the spa, or no less than once a week. Avoid a low pH. Low pH will<br />
cause wrinkles to form in the vinyl, may damage the heater, and will void<br />
your warranty. The following are the recommended water chemistry ranges<br />
for your spa.<br />
pH .......................................................... 7.4 - 7.6<br />
Total alkalinity ................................ 80 - 120 ppm<br />
Calcium hardness .......................... 150 - 250 ppm<br />
Bromine residual ................................... 2 - 3 ppm<br />
Total dissolved solids .................. below 1500 ppm<br />
NOTE:<br />
If a bromine feeder is used that requires holes to be<br />
punched in the feeder, start with one hole punched at the<br />
top of the feeder and one hole punched at the bottom.<br />
Place the feeder in the spa and test the water after two<br />
days. If the bromine level has not increased to the ideal<br />
2-3 ppm range, punch another hole in the bottom of the<br />
feeder and retest after another two days.<br />
19
User’s Guide<br />
Avoid punching too many holes in the bromine feeder, as<br />
this could cause over bromination. This could bleach the<br />
vinyl, and will void your warranty.<br />
If the bromine level in the spa reaches 5 ppm or higher,<br />
remove the bromine feeder from the spa until the bromine<br />
level drops to the correct 2-3 ppm range.<br />
Adding Chemicals<br />
1. Always activate the turbo wave blower when adding chemicals to the spa.<br />
Add only one chemical at a time.<br />
Failure to properly dissolve or dilute chemicals prior to adding<br />
them to the spa may damage the spa vinyl surfaces and will void<br />
your warranty.<br />
2. When adding chemicals, dip a few gallons of water from the spa into a<br />
five gallon bucket. Dissolve or dilute the chemicals in the bucket. Stir the<br />
bucket until the chemicals are fully dissolved or diluted. With the turbo<br />
wave blower turned on, slowly pour the bucket into the spa in the stream<br />
of the water jets.<br />
3. Do not use gas chlorination, chlorine tablets, ionizers, scents, salts, or<br />
soaps without consulting your authorized dealer.<br />
Cleanliness<br />
1. Drain and refill the spa every three months, or when the water becomes<br />
cloudy and is not cleared by proper water chemistry.<br />
2. Remove and clean your filter at least once a week. A dirty filter will<br />
prevent water flow and may prevent the spa from heating.<br />
Vinyl Repairs<br />
If the vinyl is torn or punctured, repair it with the patch kit provided with<br />
your spa. A secure, unnoticeable repair can usually be made. Additional vinyl<br />
pieces may be obtained through your authorized dealer.<br />

Winterizing and Vacationing<br />
If you are taking a vacation or leaving your spa unused for more than a week,<br />
you should take a few simple precautions. Leave the spa covered with the<br />
plastic clips locked. Leave the turbo wave pump off and set the temperature<br />
set point low. This will allow the water pump and heaters to turn on<br />
occasionally to filter the water and protect it from freezing. Upon returning,<br />
and before using the spa, check the bromine and pH levels.<br />
Storing Your Spa<br />
The spa may be stored in its original box. Make sure all water is drained from<br />
the spa and the power pack. We recommend the use of a wet/dry vacuum<br />
to blow or suck all the water from the spa fittings and the power pack. Care<br />
must be taken in cold weather as the vinyl will become stiff and brittle when<br />
the temperature falls below 0ºF.<br />
Draining the Spa<br />
A garden hose may be used to siphon the water out of the spa. Place one end<br />
of the garden hose into a suitable drain. Turn the turbo wave blower on and<br />
hold the other end of the garden hose over the water discharge fitting inside<br />
the spa. When the siphon action starts, place the end of the garden hose on<br />
the floor of the spa. Turn off the turbo wave blower and unplug the power<br />
pack. Do not lift the spa if it contains more than 1/4” of water.<br />

GFCI (120 volt units only)<br />
The GFCI, or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt, fitting on the power pack<br />
electrical cord should be tested monthly. There are no user serviceable parts<br />
inside the GFCI. Do not open the GFCI as this will void your warranty.<br />
To test the GFCI, use the following procedure.<br />
If the GFCI device does not function properly, do not use your<br />
spa. Call the dealer or factory immediately for instructions. Do<br />
not bypass the GFCI device.<br />
1. Turn on the turbo wave blower.<br />
2. Push the test button on the GFCI located<br />
at the end of the power cord. The GFCI<br />
light should go out and the turbo wave<br />
blower should shut off. If the GFCI light<br />
does not go out, and the turbo wave<br />
blower does not shut off, the GFCI is<br />
faulty. Do not use the spa. Immediately<br />
contact your dealer or the factory for<br />
instructions.<br />

SERVICE AND TROUBLESHOOTING<br />
Your spa was designed to minimize service requirements. If you encounter<br />
problems with your spa carefully go through the following steps.<br />
Air Pump Blower<br />
1. Turbo wave pump will not turn on:<br />
A. Make sure the power pack is plugged into the electrical outlet, and<br />
that there is power to the outlet. Plug another electrical item into the<br />
outlet such as a hair dryer or lamp. If you do not have power, check<br />
the breakers at the main electrical panel.<br />
B. Test the GFCI per the instructions in the Maintenance section of this<br />
manual. If the GFCI is faulty do not use the spa. Immediately call<br />
your dealer or the factory for instructions. DO NOT BYPASS THE<br />
GFCI! DO NOT USE THE SPA!<br />
2. Turbo wave pump will not turn off: Call the factory for instructions.<br />
3. Turbo wave pump blower trips the GFCI when you turn it on:<br />
A. Take the air loop off the top of the power pack. Look down inside the<br />
left fitting and see if water has collected inside the power pack.<br />
B. If water has collected inside the power pack, disconnect the large<br />
fitting connecting the power pack to the spa. Ensure the check valve<br />
in the fitting is in place and working properly.<br />
4. Turbo wave pump makes a squealing noise: Do not continue running<br />
the turbo wave pump. Contact the manufacturer for instructions.<br />

No Heat<br />
1. Dirty filter: Clean the filter per the instructions provided in the<br />
Maintenance section of this manual. If the filter is more than two months<br />
old, replace it. After cleaning or replacing the filter, cover the spa, turn<br />
the temperature set point all the way up, and leave the spa for 24 hours.<br />
If the spa still will not heat, contact the manufacturer for instructions.<br />
2. No circulation, water pump air bound: Unplug the power pack from<br />
the electrical outlet. Bleed air from the filter tank by turning the bleed<br />
fitting on the top of the filter tank counter-clockwise. After one minute,<br />
or when water drips from the fitting, close the bleed fitting and plug in. If<br />
the water pump still does not pump water, contact the manufacturer for<br />
instructions.<br />
If the water pump becomes air bound again, check the o-ring on the<br />
top of the filter tank. Refer to the filter changing instructions in the<br />
Maintenance section of this manual. Replace the o-ring if necessary.<br />
3. Bad power pack: Ensure power is available to the spa. Check the circuit<br />
breaker at the main electrical panel. Connect another electrical appliance<br />
to the plug used for the spa. If power is available to the spa, test the GFCI<br />
using the instructions supplied in the Maintenance section. If the GFCI<br />
is working properly and the power pack does not function, then the<br />
power pack is bad. If the GFCI is not working properly, do not use the<br />
spa. Immediately contact the manufacturer for instructions.<br />
4. In some situations, the numerical temperature display may read ‘OH’<br />
(overheat) and the spa will not heat until reset. To fix this problem,<br />
please use the following procedure:<br />
A. If the spa water is still warm (over 104°F / 40°C), unplug the<br />
power pack and let the water cool to below 104°F / 40°C. (Use a<br />
thermometer to verify the temperature.)<br />
B. Plug the power pack back in and press the small reset button directly<br />
below the temperature display. This will clear the ‘OH’ message and<br />
the spa will resume normal operations.<br />
Should this problem occur repeatedly, please call our customer support<br />
for further instructions.<br />

Leaks<br />
1. The two small connections between the power pack and the spa are<br />
leaking: Ensure the garden hose style washer inside each of these fittings<br />
is still in place and undamaged. If the washers are in place and the<br />
connection is still leaking, there may be a small piece of plastic behind<br />
the hose washer. Remove the small piece of plastic with a utility knife or<br />
needle-nose pliers.<br />
2. Blower connection is leaking: If the large connection between the spa<br />
and the power pack is leaking, ensure the o-ring inside the fitting is in<br />
place and undamaged.<br />
3. Plumbing or pressure switch is leaking: Look under the power pack. If<br />
water is coming from underneath the power pack, then the plumbing or<br />
pressure switch inside the power pack is leaking. Contact the factory for<br />
instructions.<br />
